I don't know what these abbreviations mean either.
okay okay YA stands for Young Adult so the book is targeted mostly to teenagers (12-18) the content, the characters and the themes are made for teens, so usually there aren't very heavy topics and the books aren't much spicy.
NA means New Adult and the age range for this one is 18+ so it's basically meant for adults.
you can still enjoy a YA novel being in your thirty's or a NA being fifteen (examples) that is purely based on your tastes and it's not a crime lmao, hope this explains ‼️
I agree!I still love "Goodnight, Mr. Tom" by Michelle Magorian and "The Island Keeper" by Harry Mazer.
Plus the old not politically correct editions from the Famous Five series of books by Enid Blyton. :)
Is there a category for Middle Ages adults? I am scared to read a New Adult book—I find it harder to understand some of slang, and this makes me feel old. I automatically turn away from books categorized as NA. If someone finds a good definition for NA other than 18+ I might take another look. With the prices of books these days I don’t want to take a chance.
Are there any NEW novels (but please no dystopian/fanatasy/SciFi/hsitorical novels) in which podcasts, cell phones, e-mails, tiktok and online terms are NOT the major focus of the story?I was so very put off by "Where are the Children Now?" by Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke.
Too much dialog, too little atmosphere, zero suspense.
